There is a similar offense in the USA. It is called being an "accomplice" (partner in crime). However, there must be proof of guilt or reasonable suspicion of guilt. If the detectives took the money back and did not arrest the seller, as described in this case, it is because they had no reason to believe the seller was connected to the theft. The seller was most likely a victim himself. However, since the item was stolen, it had to be returned to the original owner is was taken from. The seller most likely gave the detectives all the information they needed to conclude the seller had no part of the theft, and probably gave the detectives enough information to find the person who sold the jet to this seller (which would most likely be the thief).

Allot of it is they just don't understand turbines and think they will cause a fire and shut down the field. I went to a club meeting at my club and did things like start the engine and shut off my transmitter and watch the engine shut down. They had no clue it did that. So educating people will go a long way in peoples perception. But your more then welcome to fly with me at my field. We have a tight nit group of turbines guys up their.

You dont understand we had a serious jet crash that caused a huge fire, it burned A large area at the field, all that wasn't the big deal.
It was the gas wells and one of them was cooked, some 50 thousand dollars damage was caused. We answer to the county in our club and they wanted to be compensated for the damage. So when the persons involved didn't want to pay up it became a real problem for a long time. Long story short. WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN AND ONLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS VERY DRY AND ALL THE BEST FIRE OFFICIALS SAY THERE IS A FIRE DANGER THE CLUB FEELS IT SHOULD BE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED SO WE DON'T END UP IN LITIGATION AGAIN BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILTY FOR DAMAGES. It is the agreement i think that the club and the county agreed to so we could remain on the property and still have jets fly when possible. We welcome any jet flyers normally, sorry you feel that we are uneducated about model jets but my opinion is we are highly educated on the matter.
I am not a jet owner but really love to see them fly, we miss them when the fire danger is high but. We have to protect our precious field. It really is a premier place to have a model aviation site. We will continue to protect it no matter how dumb we look to some.
The land with the space needed to have a great flying field is very hard to come by. I hope this doesn't keep anyone from flying jets at our field ( if weather permits). I just thought it should be said in case some of the many readers of this thread really don't understand what we have been thru first hand.
Sorry if anyone takes offense, let me apologize for our ignorance !
If Alden's jet is airworthy I will enjoy seeing him fly it this weekend.
Congrats on the recovery all.

Thomas! CC Seahawks is an excellent jet field, and the Prez is a jet guy, and all of the Officers are extremely friendly, creating a good atmosphere for flying and having fun. In the spring, they host Gathering of the Giants, which also allow jets. Fun event. I also belong to Kris's field, and he and I have flown together up there together. What is nice there is if you are a member, they allow over night camping. It is also in beautiful horse country.

Well I have to drive up to Ocala to fly. Cant fly turbines around here. The good part is Ocala is one of the nicest fields in Florida It takes about an hour from where we live to get their. You should come to the summers end event for all large scale aircraft. I will be their along with other jets and allot of other big aircraft.
End summer flyinn is Sept 14-15 Club website is http://www.ocalaflyingmodelclub.com/ Hope to see you thier. Make sure you introduce yourself. I will be the one with the F22.

Thanks for the info. I will put it on my calendar. The field looks amazing in the photos. I haven't flown of anything but grass since I flew at the old WPMPA back in the 90s. It'll be nice to bring home "ALL" of my wheel pants for a change!
I noticed you said for all large scale aircraft, but on the website I don't see any actual details or requirements. I am going to assume it's the standard Giant Scale stuff (80" mono - 60" Bipe)?
I like forward to bringing a couple of my larger planes for the day. I'll look you up.
Thanks for the invite.

Wow, glad to see you guys recovered, man so the seller wasn't prosecuted? What did he say, who did he buy it from.
A local guy in our glub had his GP pits stolen, the theif was and idiot and sold everything to the hobby shop using his Drivers License to sell it. He got 4 years, as the total exceeded $2500.00

ok just read about the info being withheld. Damn.. lol I wish I would have been there to see when he got caught red handed, he may not have been the one who stole the jet but he sure sounds like he knew what was up and happily accepted stolen items.

well Im sure this will go over great, I had a few boats stolen out of our trailer in cocoa Fla. I also went to boat races and we had a hobby shop as well, so my 58" boat was well known. My story is this. A few years later, in almost perfect shape one of my boats showed up at GRAVE's hobby shop, GREAT right? A customer of both shops told me he saw it there, so I called. Bill himself, told me it was not my boat he knew the customer. So I drove over there and sure enough there was my boat. it was a 2,500.00 boat with a 1200.00 engine.I had known Bill for years. He had even bought boats from us.I told him it was in fact my boat.More importantly I now had a link to who stole all of our boats out of the trailer.Now the story changed to some guy dropped it off a few month's ago to get it fixed,and with all the paper work that must go into running GRAVE's hobby shop, he does not know who the boat was dropped off by. HMMMM. then to add more the broke part was a 20.00 flex cable.I called the sheriff It took me 3 months to get my boat back even with a cocoa police report and pictures of my boat.I'm posting this because its my thought that Bruce knows who dropped the 2500.00 boat off for a 20.00 repair,That's my story. you decide if its possible that your plane is in a storage bay somewhere.and has already been sold, but it was not a low down Pawn shop.That it was sold too.
